Edward Farrell special retention RSU grant
Company: Cipher Mining
What the later record shows
Not a promise: a reported event
The claim reports a grant Farrell had already received; it is not a commitment. The 2023 proxy confirms the Special Retention RSUs vest on September 13 of 2023, 2024 and 2025, but no passage gives the exact grant date.
“Represents all of the Special Retention RSUs that vest on each of September 13, 2023, September 13, 2024 and September 13, 2025.”
